The bio_docker repository contains a number of directories. Each directory contains a build file for the relevant bioinformatics tool that is wrapped by the Dockerfile in that directory.

bio_docker is under really active development as are the tools underneath, so expect regular and major changes. Currently, only vg_d and cortex_d are functional build scripts. The rest are simply placeholders.

To build any of the images in the repo, simply:

1. Pull the repo
2. cd to the desired directory
3. Run docker build .
4. Hopefully your image will be built and you can run it using docker run <imgRef>

Things are still under really active development, so they may not always work so well. If they don't feel free to issue a pull request or report an issue.

Docker is a pain to run on a managed cluster unless you are really tight with your sysadmins. Since I'm in between clusters, things are tested to run on Mac OS X, but since the whole point of Docker is to run on anything HOPEFULLY it will work on your system.
